THE RED SPIDER IN INDIA. 



N looking over the Horticulturist for Oct., I see an article on the 

 Red Spider, and as this is an old acquaintance and enemy of mine in 

 India among the tea plant, I thought it might interest some of your 

 readers to know how we used to fight the pest there. We found that 

 anything that would t smother the eggs for a day or two had the 

 effect of stopping the ravages, so we used to take ordinary swamp 

 mud and mix it with water till about the consistency of cream 

 and smear the bushes all_ over. The process was performed in this way. A 

 number of cooly children were told off each armed with a small earthen pot and 

 a brush or broom, made from some stiff grass. The pots being filled they took 

 what they could of the mud on the broom, and shook it over the bush time after 

 time till the whole was covered, and in a day or two (in the country where the 

 growth is rapid) the new growth could be seen coming away entirely clear of red 

 spider. Some parts of the plantation are usually more subject to this pest than 

 others. A western slope invariable suffers more than one sloping in the othei 

 direction, and also where the land is shallow, more than where the soil is heavy 

 and deep. Tom Wilson.
